SEEING THE SIGHT-Introduction


This is my first part on the subject which I had embarked on the journey a few years ago when I fell in love with photography and now I almost shoot photos everyday with my smartphone Note3.First,let me disqualify myself that I am no expert on "Seeing The Sight".I am here to write a personal journal "As I see it" on my way.It is more about the sight than what my eyes see per se.Neither it is academic nor professional.I don't belong to either.Your comment is most welcome.
Below is a photo taken on my way back from my work to my home yesterday.The visual is the same to everyone,but the sight has different stories and meanings to different people.Seeing the sight is very complex process.It depends on who you are and the state of being.


Ordinary folks may see the man and his mobile phone sitting by the side of the escalator.The photographers may ponder on the composition,the light,the graphical context while the the architects and the engineers may see this image in different light.The pun is intended here.

It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

  Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. This photograph captures one such moment — a lone bird standing calmly in the shallow waters of the wetlands, surrounded by patches of emerging green and a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky above. What makes this scene compelling is its sense of solitude. The bird stands alone, yet it does not appear lonely. Instead, it seems completely at ease in its environment. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
